Chapter 1237: July Flowing Fire

No matter how unwilling Yan Shifan is, with Lan Daoxing's "heroic righteousness", this menacing court turmoil has officially come to an end.

Although Yan Shifan is very smart, he is not a qualified politician after all, not to mention that his opponent is still invincible Xu Jie. After losing this last chance to turn the tables, he also had to accept the arrangement of fate.

No matter how beautiful he was in the past, no matter how Xu Jie knelt and licked him in the past, the decline of the Yan family has become an established fact, and Yan Shifan will also be escorted to Leizhou by the officials.

Only a few days later, the approval of the Criminal Department of the Imperial Court was officially issued, and the official messenger of the Criminal Department also escorted Yan Shifan out of Beijing City and took Yan Shifan out of this place of dispute.

Although Yan Hong was not treated by Yan Shifan, he waited until the day when Yan Shifan left Beijing before he set off with the remaining Yan family servants.

As the Yan family left the capital one after another, the Yan Mansion in the past was also officially declining.

The capital is like a big stage, and there is always a drama of "a generation of new people replacing the old".

When everyone thought that Xu Jie would beat the water dogs, they never expected that Xu Jie's purge of the Yan Party would be silenced, and the Xu Party's speech officials did not impeach any member of the Yan Party.

For the rest of June, the court was surprisingly quiet, as if the storm had passed.

In addition to Wan Ning, the secretary of the Dali Temple, Yan Maoqing, the servant of the Criminal Department, Wan Yulong, the Taichang Shaoqing, Hu Zhi, the governor of Caoyun, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who took the initiative to resign, the remaining strict party personnel such as Lei Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, He Qian, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, Liu Boyue, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Hu Rulin, the right Tongzheng, were not attacked again.

Behind this calmness, the essence is not that the purge has ended, but that Xu Jie has a last resort. In the face of the deep-rooted strict party, it is impossible to purge only a few officials.

This matter can only be blamed on the fact that the officials of the Supervision Yuan were too excited, watching Yan Song's downfall, they thought that they could liquidate Yan Song, thinking that cats and dogs could step on Yan Song.

Who knows, although the emperor does not want Yan Song to continue to serve as the first assistant, and even does not meet Yan Song until Yan Song leaves Kyoto, he still retains a love for Yan Song.

The frenzied attack on Yan Song by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate instead aroused the sympathy of the saint for Yan Song, and even caused the strong dissatisfaction of the saint today, thus throwing out the astonishing remarks of "Those who dare to speak again will be beheaded".

With the feats of "Zuo Shunmen Bloody Case" and "Shoufu Xia Yan was beheaded in Dongshi", Jiajing really wanted to kill a few ignorant officials, which was a piece of cake.

In addition, although Lan Daoxing committed suicide and splashed dirty water on Yan Hong through his remarks, this is a small hidden danger after all, which will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.

It was precisely in this way that Xu Jie temporarily calmed down the speech officials of the Supervision Yuan, and not only ordered to stop the attack on Yan Song, but also cautiously stopped the purge of the Yan Party.

After all, as long as Yan Song is stifled from returning to the court, Yan Dang's gang is actually a turtle in an urn.

In July, the weather has cooled slightly.

Every day off, the Xu Mansion in Huaishu Hutong is extremely lively. Whether it was an official who had just entered Beijing or an official who could have a little relationship with the Xu Mansion, they all came to see him with gifts and greetings.

Time seems to be able to erase everything, and everyone has slowly forgotten the former high-ranking and powerful Yan Ge Lao, and they all begin to firmly remember that the current first assistant is Xu Jie, a new Ge Lao who is a hundred times better than Yan Song.

Following the hundred officials, they are eager for a "virtuous gentleman", and at the same time, they also long for a "virtuous minister".

After Xu Jie came to power, he used various actions to show the hundred officials that he Xu Jie was not the first assistant of Yan Song's arbitrary and arbitrary actions, but a "virtuous minister" who was willing to share his power with the hundred officials.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Jie has begun to shake off his former notoriety and win the support of more and more officials, and the Xu Party is getting stronger and stronger.

Xufu is an inconspicuous house, but there is a lot of traffic in front of the door. The officials in official uniforms are constantly coming in and out of the Xu Mansion, and they are not insiders, so I am afraid that they will mistakenly think that the hundred officials are going to court here.

There are too many sedan chairs here, not to mention the carriage entering it, and the sedan chair can only stop at the mouth of the alley, and the people of the Terracotta Division have also set up checkpoints here.

Even so, many officials lined up in front of the door with gifts and greetings, which were tens of meters long, and too many of them were holding valuable gifts such as gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques and paintings.

Naturally, they didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet Xu Ge Lao, but hoped to send the heavy gifts in their hands to hug Xu Jie's thigh.

It's just that many officials are destined to be disappointed, and Xu Jie's follow-up to the Yan Mansion is already very different. The Yan Mansion accepted almost all the gifts, and Xu Jie had always been known for his honesty in the capital, and he had already told the people below not to accept valuables.

In the face of such an incorruptible Xu Shoufu, although many officials could not give gifts, they also praised this "virtuous minister", and cursed a few words of Yanfu father and son.

Of course, many officials still hope that the Xu Mansion will accept the generous gifts and let them grow freely under the big tree of Xu Jie.

"Huh...... Brother Li, don't be discouraged! Although we can't give it away this time, but it seems that it is the 60th birthday of Lord Yuanfu, and his Xu family will never refuse the gift we give again, right? ”

An elderly official looked at his companion and was worried that he could not give a heavy gift, but he reminded with a smile.

This was the case for several officials next to him, and when they heard these remarks, they were even in good spirits. They surrounded the elderly official and asked him for details.

Facing the encirclement of the officials, the old official felt as if he had drunk wine, gently stroked his beard and said incomprehensibly: "You are in vain today, don't you know that October 20 is the 60th birthday of Elder Xu Ge?" ”

Since ancient times, people in China have lived for 70 years, and 60 years old happens to be a reincarnation, commonly known as the sixtieth birthday, so the 60th birthday has always been very grand.

Xu Jie is naturally no exception, and at the time of his 60th birthday, it must be a special event.

Many officials knew that Yan Ge Lao was eighty-three years old this year, so they mistakenly thought that Xu Jie, the second assistant, was not young, but they didn't expect that Xu Jie was just sixty years old this year.

If a heavy gift is given on Xu Jie's 60th birthday, the Xu family may have no reason to refuse, and they can also have a relationship with the Xu family. After learning the truth, the officials also left with their gifts.

"Selling fame and reputation!"

Yang Futian and the others also got off the sedan chair at the entrance of the alley, and when they passed in front of the Xu Mansion, Ning Jiang said softly.

But it was a coincidence that Xu Fan actually walked towards him from the direction of Wu Mansion, and he had already heard Ning Jiang's words, and his face was pulled down.
